I'm going to buck the trend here and say I really, really like this video. It's ineffective at propaganda of course, but this video is like concentrated outrage, injected straight into the spinal cord. This is the most 2018 thing I've ever seen, up to and including the logo which contains a fist punching Trump. It's a fucking masterpiece of outrage porn.

Much better.

I think most people would agree; the main conflict would be in the details, and the relative importance we assign to those goals as opposed to others. But it's a reasonable view.

This, essentially. But when someone comes out swingin' and says, "You are stupid and ignorant and full of evil; the government should have more control over things," it sounds to most ears like, "You must submit to the will of your superiors."

And when those "superiors" are acting like turbospeds over things like Kavanaugh or Muh Russia or Literally Anything Trump Says, and using their positions of authority to get themselves even more wealth and power and prestige...yeah, no thanks.

@George Beorge , you seem like a decent fellow when you calm down, so I am going to point out that the same people who are being turbospeds in the government have been in the same offices for longer than many of the people voting for them have been alive. They didn't suddenly flip their shit; they've always been like this, they just had help covering it up. Understand that for most of us, these people are absolutely the worst guardians we could choose for our liberty.

We're not so optimistic that the next round of turbospeds these turbospeds are promoting will be any better, either.

Maybe that's stupid, but until they stop acting like turbospeds, most of us are not going to be too keen on expanding their authority.

Trump is an idiot who would've lost against literally anyone but the worst Democratic Nominee that could've ever possibly been chosen.
Fox News for a long time was notoriously the ultimate in fake news. For the longest time I considered Republicans to be the most ridiculous, idiotic, and regressive thinking group of people on the planet.
Then The Left said "Hold my beer" roughly around 2010 and now we're here where you're Literally Hitler if you don't support mass islamic immigration or communism.

I would disagree on the video games thing. The democrats have won the race to the bottom on both free speech and hating video games, but the republicans didn't give up those bunkers easily.

I was honestly thinking of a long bygone era before SJWs had really found video games. You know, the time of "Pokemon and D&D are satanist propaganda" and Jack Thompson.

How is that relevant to why you're a liberal *today*? By your own admission, it was a time long since past. It would be like me asking "Why can you side with the left when the democrats opposed the civil rights act?"

Massive tax and regulation cuts aren't giving breaks to big businesses?
Click to expand...
Massive tax and regulation cuts helped everyone, big businesses are just the largest number on the drawing board, and percentages have a way of making big numbers bigger. I don't want to leap on the whole "How fucking dare you" beat-wagon that you seem to have stirred up because frankly the fact that you hate Republicans that much and you're still here and angry is good enough for me, and the beat-wagon is a really dumb idea because that's how Side B got to where they are now, but seriously as bullshit as it sounds on paper, you don't help anyone by hiking taxes and tying up businesses with even more regulations.

Businesses will just fuck off. They already fucked off because of this, and hiking taxes on the rich is a fantastic way to kick-start a capital flight if you're just itching to create Venezuela 2.0. All of the tax cuts and regulation cuts were designed to do one thing: Openly encourage big businesses to come back to America for their manufacturing instead of bunkering down in competitive "tax havens" abroad. As a side-effect, your average Joe Blow gets to keep more of his paycheck, and a Mom & Pop store is easier to start up and keep rolling than its ever been.

The fact that the rich got the biggest benefit is just a numbers game, there was no possible way to avoid that without having every single person with a million dollars just fuck off and move what's left of their bank account to Timbuktu or some bullshit, but that means that they'll be keeping their money here instead of those tax havens again, which means even more money stays in our economy.

The idea of post-modernist feminist word salad code talkers on the HAM radio amuses me.

Anyone who thinks they're going to be off-the-grid resistance are fucking mega-speds. I'll admit, in my free time for a while now I've been reading all kinds of DIY and self-help books related to anything ranging from things I didn't know about potential cleaning products, hunting game and smoking meat, drying foods, even a guide to blade sharpening, and writing down important tidbits that are essential in each category into a quick reference journal I've recently started making.

I do that too.

I call it "camping". Items to bring: a coleman pup tent, a sleeping bag, a rubbermaid "action packer" full of random shit I grabbed from around the house, a big fucking box of bailing twine that I've had for years and I don't know where I got it from, and a cooler full of cheap beer.

Be extra sloppy and rushed when loading and go way deep into the woods so you have to redneck engineer any solution to shit you forgot/broke. It's a learning experience par excellence.

Have you ever tried to open a can of beans with a rock? I learned that you can't. The hard way.

I know this was a response to why he's left-wing but this is most accurate TL;DR account of events that has transpired.

China does contribute more carbon than the rest of the world but that doesn't mean we should just not give a shit.
Click to expand...

Ok, then you support tossing out every illegal immigrant and sending every refugee back to where they came from: their carbon footprint will be much reduced in the 3rd world hellhole they crawled from vs shitting up western industrialized nations.
The US contributions to the Paris Agreement could have been used to put the underground coal fires in china, indonesia, india and domestically, which would have had more effect on carbon production than gutting US industry. Instead they went to ensuring more jobs went to China where there is zero environmental regulation (good job on that one).
You should also be supporting US manufacturing and more industry in the US, because holy shit son have you checked the fuel efficiency on transoceanic freighters?
Stop buying iPhones every year. Only shop second hand stores. Turn off your AC & heat.

Get out and force your state to build more nuclear plants, because that's the least environmental impact per KWH when you take the whole life cycle. Photovoltaic solar is dirty as shit. Its just the fucking moonscapes where they process the silicon for the panels and the heavy metals for the batteries are in china, so no limosine liberal has to see what its doing to their precious mother earth, so they don't give a shit.

I guess what I'm saying is everyone wants to be an environmentalist until they realize what you actually need to do to be an environmentalist and not just say they are & protest some high-visibility but ultimately meaningless shit to feel better about themselves.

I actually have some nice things to say the EPA and clean-air/water laws, but the EPA today is fucking retarded and more often then not used as a political cudgel and more concerned about their power and funding than actually protecting the environment. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Gold_King_Mine_waste_water_spill

That article Pur Sang posted said:
I will confess—and conservatives will make fun of this, but let them, it’s the way it is—that one of the main reasons I wanted Hillary to win [...] so that my daughter would spend the first eight or hopefully 12 years of her life seeing that the presidents of the United States were a black guy and a woman.

That whole article was full of delicious TDS salt.
But I wanted to bring attention to this part.
I love that the argument for decades was physical traits don't matter, just fitness for the position. Caring about skin color over qualifications made you a racist. Caring about gender regardless of fitness for a position made you a sexist.

The 2016 election made a lot of lefties come out an admit what everyone already new from 2008: they don't care about fitness for position, they only care about physical characteristics. They are racists & sexists.

That leaves 10 million I can’t explain. It was, and still is, stunning that all these people would take a flyer on the presidency of the United States.
Click to expand...

Let me solve this mystery for you (the math is way way off but I'm not expecting a coastal liberal to be able to do math). That number you can't explain are the people who realized the current system had fucked them, was continuing to fuck them, and showed no signs of stopping. So they figured might as well go with the man who says "I hear you, you've been wronged, and we've got to stop it" vs. the walking corpse lusting after power and telling them they they don't deserve what they have and should be glad they haven't been fucked harder.
In all your smug gloating about whites becoming a minority, you forgot to take into accoutn what happens when they start behaving like one.

I’d wager that the biggest Trump news hasn’t broken yet.

Of course not. I'm not tired of winning yet.
